Brian David Johnson Sandy Winkelman Biography & Facts

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections will be held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections, to elect representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states, as well as 6 non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the inhabited U.S. territories. Special elections may also be held on various dates throughout 2024. Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the U.S. presidential election and elections to the Senate, will also be held on this date. The winners of this election will serve in the 119th United States Congress, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2020 United States census. The House Republican Conference has been led by Mike Johnson since October 2023, following the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and the speaker election which elected him. He is the first congressman from Louisiana to be elected Speaker of the House. With the election of Hakeem Jeffries as leader of the House Democratic Caucus, this is set to be the first House election since 2002 in which the Democratic Party will not be led by Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries is the first African American in the history of Congress to serve as leader of either party, and the first congressman from New York to do so since Bertrand Snell's retirement in 1938. The election is expected to be highly competitive, with forecasts suggesting less than a 5-seat difference between the 2 parties. The competitive nature of the election partially stems from the 118th United States Congress being considered among the least productive since the 72nd Congress of 1931 to 1933, which has contributed to a 13% approval rating. The 118th Congress is also considered to be a dramatic one, with events such as the January 2023 speakership election, the 2023 debt-ceiling crisis, the removal of Kevin McCarthy from House Speaker, the October 2023 speakership election and the expulsion of George Santos. No party has lost House control after a single congressional term since 1954. Retirements As of June 2024, a total of 45 representatives and 2 non-voting delegates (25 Democrats and 22 Republicans) have announced their retirement, 18 of whom (11 Democrats and 7 Republicans) are retiring to run for other offices.

In 2024, most states will use the same districts created in the redistricting cycle following the 2020 census, which were first used in the 2022 elections. However, maps have changed or will change in several states, often due to legal challenges made on the basis of political or racial gerrymandering. As of May 2024, several states have seen challenges to their congressional district maps that were put in place during the redistricting cycle brought upon by the results of the 2020 census. In Alabama, a special master drew a new map after the state legislature submitted a map that did not comply with the Voting Rights Act after the Supreme Court ruled their original map violated the Voting Rights Act in Allen v. Milligan, requiring the creation of a second predominantly Black district. Similarly, a judge in Georgia ruled that Georgia's maps were illegally racially gerrymandered and the Georgia General Assembly drew a new map that added a new predominantly Black district. In Louisiana, the Supreme Court's decision not to intervene in Robinson v. Ardoin led to a second majority Black district being drawn in that state as well, although this map was struck down after a legal challenge by some Louisianans. On the other hand, Republican legislators in North Carolina drew a map placing three Democratic incumbents in Republican-leaning districts after the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that partisan gerrymandering is not justiciable, which in turn was canceled out by a map passed after a similar state court ruling in New York that made three highly competitive districts somewhat Democratic-leaning. Other racial gerrymandering cases in Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas and another partisan gerrymandering case in Utah were not resolved before the filing deadlines for the 2024 Congressional elections in those states. Newly created seats The following districts will have no incumbent representative as a result of redistricting.
